In the last 3 Saturdays myself and a mate have ben trying to end the doe season with a good result and following on from my last thread on Gen Discussion ( the one with the fox/pheasant combo).
That day saw 4 fallow and two munty down, a week later saw 6 fallow down and last sat saw 8 fallow down.
Out of that lot 5 of the fallow have had rear leg injuries. Two severe and 3 clearly showing previous damage that has healed causing a seized joint. They were all visibly showing prenounced gaits,noticable even from unshootable ranges. The two worst were one three legged doe missing bottom half of leg although it had skin and hair so not recent and the other a full leg but only developed half the size of the other size. Both in calf and both in herds.
Now, I haven't seen that level of injury in 9years and we haven't been seeing the same deer every outing else we would have noticed them before .
Anyone else noticed anything similar?
